Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Other
4week alternating FOLFOX and a combination chemotherapy regime FOLFIRI (sFOLFOXIRI),
A cycle will constitute 28 days of treatment, which will consist of one chemotherapy combination, either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI as below: Odd Cycles (e.g. 1, 3, 5, etc…) - mFOLFOX6 initiated on days 1 & 15: (Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU 400 mg/m2 bolus, then 5FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours) Even Cycles (e.g. 2,4,6, etc…) - FOLFIRI initiated on days 1 & 15: (Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 IV, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5FU 400 mg/m2 bolus, then 5FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours) Nivolumab (optional, in-line with labelled approval) - 240 mg every 2 weeks
